The Square D QO260CP Double‑Pole Circuit Breaker is a heavy‑duty 2‑pole (D‑P) breaker designed to provide dependable overcurrent protection for residential and light commercial electrical systems. Manufactured as part of the premium Square D QO series, this breaker delivers long‑term reliability, consistent performance, and the distinctive visual trip indication trusted by electrical professionals.

Rated at 60 amps and approved for 120/240‑volt applications, the QO260CP is well‑suited for protecting high‑load 240‑volt branch circuits. As a double‑pole breaker, it connects to both hot bus bars within a Square D QO load center and ensures simultaneous tripping of both poles, providing proper protection for large electrical loads while supporting safe and code‑compliant installations.

The breaker utilizes a proven thermal‑magnetic tripping mechanism, which provides accurate protection against both sustained overloads and instantaneous short circuits. Its plug‑on design allows for fast, secure installation in approved Square D QO load centers. Built to Square D’s rigorous quality and safety standards, the QO260CP is designed for demanding applications that require higher amperage capacity and dependable performance.
